LinkPlug! General Web Directory http://linkplug.com/ A great domain name, fast approvals and detailed and unique category descriptions have seen LinkPlug! become a firm favourite of both human and automated visitors. Featured links -- $5.00 Regular links -- $1.00 Regular links with reciprocal -- Free LinkPlug! is about providing a directory of quality sites for world wide web users. Our goal is to list the best sites for a wide variety of topics giving our users the most relevant results for their searches. Thus, we're inviting Digital Point Members to submit their site to our directory. All links will be manually reviewed before acceptance. All paid links will be reviewed as soon as possible, ie usually within 1 business day. If you selected the "regular links with reciprocal" option these links are completely free and will also be reviewed within 1 business day. A reciprocal link is required. This reciprocal link must be of sufficient quality; ie links pointing to 'link farms' will be deleted. Why? Links that are sitting amongst hundreds of others on a page will pass on little benefit in terms of actual visitors, especially if the links they are cohabiting with are related to varied and unconnected topics. Although some link farms can be created by hand, most are created through automated programs and services. A link farm is a form of spamming the index of a search engine (sometimes called spamdexing or spamexing). Links from sites with no original content, no web presence, bad neighbourhoods, 'link farms' or identikit web directories will deliver little or no benefit to our users and will therefore be deleted. Please keep in mind Digital Point thread rules, ie legitimate reasons for bumping this thread include asking specific questions about the directory, reporting if their are errors with the directory (or your listing), or other specific comments. Otherwise, please use the PM system! Thanks in advance for your patronage!
I threw in a couple of "Regular" type links from high quality, high traffic, spam free sites cause your beard rocks.
Thanks guys — it's much appreciated. I will be around for the next six hours doing instantaneous approvals — so there will be no waiting. The beard's even longer now. Going for the "Jerry Garcia" look — aka work from home webmaster .
Reciprocal links form a vital part of any website promotion effort. You have created great content, or offer a superb product or service—and now, you want people to know about it. The Web is only as useful as the sum of its links. Without links it is just a disparate collection of pages. Links are the glue behind the Web. To ensure that your page has the visibility it deserves, you will need other sites to point to yours. We believe that reciprocal links are valuable to search engine optimization and that a webmaster needs to seek reciprocal links. LinkPlug! editors strongly advise against indiscriminate linking. We choose sites that are relevant to a web directory. It is part of our commitment to maintain the interest level of our visitors in the topics they choose to explore with us. With hundreds of thousands of sites out there, there is just no need to exchange links with everyone! Focus is the key to attracting traffic; after all, how many people will click on a link to a web directory when seeking the day's news? LinkPlug! seeks complementary links: links that are designed to maximize the value of LinkPlug! by providing more detailed, or better information than we can on our own. LinkPlug! thinks symbiosis! The most important factors in link building are link relevance and quality. Recently, LinkPlug! staff evaluated the relevance of our reciprocal links and determined that they were not contributing value to the LinkPlug! ecosystem. Hence, please note that we are no longer accepting reciprocal links. Going forward, we will be offering paid directory submission only. Through LinkPlug!, we can ensure that sites suggested by merchants such as yourself are viewed and evaluated in a timely manner by LinkPlug!'s editorial staff. Your payment and participation in LinkPlug! guarantee that within seven business days a member of LinkPlug!'s editorial staff will look at your site and consider it for inclusion in the LinkPlug! Directory. Please keep in mind that payment does not automatically guarantee inclusion in the directory, site placement, or site commentary. As with all sites suggested to us, final judgement remains solely with LinkPlug! editors.
